ARAFAT'S COWARDICE





Anyone doubting the malice of the Arafat nazi regime should read this story:-





Fatah Tanzim activists in Nablus attempted to use an 11-year-old boy to

smuggle a bomb through an IDF roadblock on Monday, and tried to detonate

the bomb when soldiers stopped him.



Earlier in the day, Shin Bet agents had alerted troops in the area of

plans by a bomber to leave Nablus.



The men gave the boy a bag containing a seven-to-10 kilogram bomb stuffed

with bolts. They promised him a large sum of money if he would carry it

through the roadblock and hand it to a woman waiting on the other side.



"A military policewoman lifted the bag, which was heavy, and placed it on

the table. The soldier noticed the boy was uneasy and, when she questioned

him, he told her the bag didn't belong to him and he had been asked to

take it through," Lt.-Col. Guy, a Paratroop Brigade battalion commander,

told The Jerusalem Post.



"She immediately alerted officers, and with the other soldiers, distanced

everyone from the area. "When the boy's dispatchers saw he was being detained,

they dialed the cellphone inside the bag meant to detonate the bomb in an attempt, but it

failed top go off," he said.



The boy was detained for questioning, and sappers were called in to

dispose of the bomb.



Guy said the boy will be freed after questioning. "We're not going to do

anything with a boy like that, an innocent kid trying to earn his daily

bread. Someone apparently promised him money for getting the bomb across."



Guy said it is common for terrorist groups to use children or women as

couriers for arms and explosives.



"We have caught a 39-year-old mother of seven... with an explosive belt

under her clothes," he said, adding that the woman was on her way into

Israel from the West Bank when she was caught.

Since the outbreak of violence, terrorists have dispatched 29 suicide

bombers younger than 18, officials said.



Since 2001, more than 40 other minors who were involved in planning

suicide bombings have been arrested by security forces. Since May 2001, 22

shootings and bombings were perpetrated by minors.

Elsewhere in the West Bank, soldiers shot a Palestinian who threw a fire

bomb at troops near Zabade, south of Jenin. Shots were also fired at

soldiers in Nablus.



Charming people, these Palestinians. No wonder the EU has to send them all that aid.
